Braddell-Westlake Farewell Dinner 2nd Dec
Picked linus and alvin up before heading to the orchid country club for the farewell dinner. Upon arriving, there were guards guiding us where to park the car. no bad ar... parked my car and entered the main entrance. Saw alot of my teachers but the rest of the students/ex-students, most of them never see before. Went to see the super long whiteboard to see where am i sitted. I was the odd one out for my table. My mood become sian liao. My mom went to seat with her ex-colleagues (she was an ex-teacher from westlake, in case u dunno). Linus and alvin on another table. Was stoning around until i saw my classmates come. jack & gang. haha... lazy to type out all their names. most of them got to seat on the same table, but kai wing was all alone and fortunately i was sitting with xinyi, so got company.
at first me and xinyi were sitting on this tbale 40 something (cannot remember liao) then 2 other guys came over cos most of their classmates on my table, so we switch places to table 60 something. My classmates that table, there were 3 extra ppl. but there were 4 people tat. so that means it is one too many. after much talk, they finally move away from that table and me and xinyi and kai wing moved over. we thot that it would stay like tat, but apparently it wasn't. they came back again, and after much confusion and discussion, we all went back to our allocated seats. the dinner was horrible. the food sucks, the mc sucks, the singing by the students suck. The only few things good about this were the video and the singing by teachers. the rest cmi. and it cost $48. so expensive. we didn't eat much lor. i tink i paid $48 to see my teachers and my classmates.
this dinner brought back many many memories during my sec sch days. it revolve around 3 things: npcc, choir and prefect. sec 2 came with the merge with braddell. alot of problems. alot of disputes between ex-westlake and ex-braddell. terrible time. sec 3 kena prefect supervisor. and for npcc was sort of cheated by the officer regarding the sergant test. stupid lah. sec 4 leh, was appointed vice-head prefect. but i'm a slacker vice-head. haha... everything push to head cos i dun like the prefect mistress, mrs teo. my sec sch days on the whole was good. had alot of fun and good learning experiences. i still prefer my sec sch days compared to poly. poly life is sianz for me. okay okay, after my brief summary on sec sch life, back to reality!
after the dinner was over, wanted to go out to do some stuff since very long never meet liao. wanted to go bowling, but most of them not really keen to go. After wasting much time thinking of where to go, we decided to go town to eat something. it was raining that time. drove out of that place with overloaded passengers 5 behind. haha.. went going out of the carpark, my car hit the curb. it was super dark and the floor was so wet. didn't see the curb. once i reached linus house (he went to get his parents car so that it is more spacious), i go change my left side. okay wat... no damage leh. haha...
after that 3 cars convey to somerset to makan. on the way there, saw a roadblock, and a taxi driver kena booked. it was around 1 plus am liao when we were travelling to town. we got ourselves seated and then suddenly sing jie suggested to eat at a cheaper place like prata house. but a few of them hungry liao, so they eat 1st lor. after they makan, convey to prata house and the remainder ate again! haha... i ordered 3 prata tinking that one prata would be small. it was a bad move. the mushroom cheese prata is huge! it is equilavent to 2 - 3 pratas. i eat until my stomach almost exploded. after much talk and catching up, the 3 drivers fetch all the people home...
